[ laughter ] thankfully she will soon have company when rosa parks completes her journey from the back of the bus to the front of statuary hall later this year. [ applause ] now, we look around and remember the men and women who helped define our nation. they like us, they face obstacles and they like us worked hard to move in country forward. here in this hall four presidents took the oath of office. here abraham lincoln served his single term in congress and john quincy adams, the only former president to return to serve in the house spoke out against slavery. today we also remember an event that took place outside this building, but reverberated from within. this year marks the 50th anniversary of the reverend martin luther king jr.'s march on washington which spurred passage of the historic civil rights law. we're honored to have with us a colleague, congressman john lewis who was a speaker at that historic march.
